Description
[VELIN BINDING WITH GILDED DENTELLES] Maistre Alain CHARTIER [Gilles le BOUVIER] - Œuvres De l'imprimerie Pierre Le Mür à Paris, 1617 - Les oeuvres de maistre Alain Chartier, clerc, notaire, et secretaire des roys Charles VI & VII. Contenans l'histoire de son temps, L'esperance, le Curial, le Quadriloge, & autres pieces, toutes nouvellement reveues, corrigées, & de beaucoup augmentées sur les exemplaires escrits à la main, par Andre du Chesne Tourangeau. Last early edition of the Oeuvres d'Alain Chartier, which Brunet (I, 1813-1814) considers "preferable to all the previous ones", although it does not include the Demandes d'Amour and the Débat du Gras et du Maigre. The Histoire de Charles VII, on pages 1 to 301, is no longer attributed to Alain Chartier, but to Gilles Bouvier dit Berry. A magnificent copy in a superb later but antique full vellum binding. The boards are richly decorated with gilt filleting and wide lacework of finely worked gilt motifs. Spine with 5 false nerves, same gilded motifs decorating the boxes and red morocco title-piece, title and author in gilded lettering, decoration of same gilded motifs on the purple-painted edges, gilded laces and vellum borders on the inside covers, purple cloth endpapers with gilded crosses. Fresh interior, a few discreet old dampstains, trimmed copy a little short. Contains 4 fine engraved medallions, lamp-ends, lettering and headbands. A superb copy of this rare work in its finest edition. Fort in-4, 868pp. Provenance: L. Chazal with ex libris with lion and motto "Robur et Solatium" and "Quiar Nominor Leo".
